When they established KayanerenkoÌ:wa, the Great Law of Peace, they not only resolved intractable conflicts, but also shaped a system of law and government that would maintain peace for generations to come. This law remains in place today in Haudenosaunee communities: an Indigenous legal system, distinctive, complex, and principled. It is not only a survivor, but a viable alternative to Euro-American systems of law. With its emphasis on lasting relationships, respect for the natural world, building consensus, and on making and maintaining peace, it stands in contrast to legal systems based on property, resource exploitation, and majority rule. Although KayanerenkoÌ:wa has been studied by anthropologists, linguists, and historians, it has not been the subject of legal scholarship. There are few texts to which judges, lawyers, researchers, or academics may refer for any understanding of specific Indigenous legal systems. Following the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and a growing emphasis on reconciliation, Indigenous legal systems are increasingly relevant to the evolution of law and society. In KayanerenkoÌ:wa Great Law of Peace Kayanesenh Paul Williams, counsel to Indigenous nations for forty years, with a law practice based in the Grand River Territory of the Six Nations, brings the sum of his experience and expertise to this analysis of KayanerenkoÌ:wa as a living, principled legal system. In doing so, he puts a powerful tool in the hands of Indigenous and settler communities."--Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Six Nations. $t Great Law of Peace. 650 0 $a Iroquois law. 650 0 $a Iroquois Indians $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Iroquois Indians $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Iroquois Indians $x History. 650 0 $a Iroquois Indians $x Social life and customs. 630 07 $a Great Law of Peace (Six Nations) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01395613 650 7 $a Iroquois Indians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979404 650 7 $a Iroquois Indians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979419 650 7 $a Iroquois Indians $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979422 650 7 $a Iroquois Indians $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979426 650 7 $a Iroquois law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979437 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 1 $a Williams, Kayanesenh Paul, 1949-, author. $t KayanerenkoÌ:wa. $d Winnipeg, Manitoba : University of Manitoba Press, 2018. $w (CaOONL)20189020725 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717011333.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=67B5EA22462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
